The Legend of Zelda

Thanks to Nintendo of Canada, we have begun playing our way through The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the Nintendo Switch. As you would assume from a remaster, the new game is very much in line with the original and DX releases, with a few notable, quality of life changes. In our early time with the game, there are many things to marvel at, and a few that raise some questions. Let’s dive in!

During the length E3 2019 Nintendo Direct and the 30 minute demo presentation during Nintendo Treehouse Live, there was a lot of new information dumped onto fans about the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening. For many Nintendo Switch owners, this game may feel like a brand new experience, and for many others, getting to revist this classic game with a brand new overlay is truly exciting. And early impressions are incredibly positive.

When playing through Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, there is one thing all players can do that could ultimately be the difference between winning or defeat. How you deal with the swarming enemies is probably more important than you think, but focusing on them over objectives is a HUGE mistake!

When playing through Hyrule Warriors over the weekend, I quickly realized something that I've probably known for a long time: Hyrule Warriors is a love letter to all the previous Zelda console titles, and really brings all those nostalgic feels back when playing in specific areas, using specific characters, and hearing specfici tunes. Although the game isn't what you might expect from a Zelda experience - don't let that deter you Zelda fans! - there is something really great here that long time console franchise fans will love!
